New Wooden Dress Goods.

Among the new dress woolens to be
used for visiting gowns during the Win
ter and for handsome promenade dresses
in the spring, are fine soft ladies' cloth
fabrics in novel pale hues of helitrope,
chamois, pale copper, maple leaf green,
raspberry red, amaranth, rose color,
and cream yellow and blue of the tints
seen on bisque and Royal Worcester
wares. Fur and feather bands trim the
suits of these materials worn at present.
Further on, the Russian polonaises,
jackets and long overdresses made of
them, will be decorated with cloth ara
besques in cut work, appliques so rich
and heavy in effect as to closely resem-
Gle costly Swiss embroideries in silk and
arrasene. Velvet of deeper shade
will also be combined with these ma
terials in elegant carriage and dinner
gowns.-M Y. Post

BORROWING MONEY.
Honest Tins compliment" Not Quite APP
preciated by a Bank Manager.


Borrowing money is very favorite
practice with the Irish farmer; and until
a recent period the banks made the
qualification of this taste extremely
easy. A Cork car driver lately said to
his fare: "Why, sir, Il while ago a
farmer need only to put on 'clane'
shirt, and 90 to the bank, and he'd get
what he wanted" The expectations
however, of some of the borrowers were
too great, as the following incident,
which really occurred, very amusingly
shows. A certain small farmer, whom
we shall call Tim" for convenience,
called upon the manager of the National
Bank, in a town in the northeast of
the county of Cork. The following
dialogue ensued: Good morning, yer
honor, called about Il little business;
and though there are other banks in
the town, | thought I'd give yer honor
the compliment "Well, Tim, and
what is the business?n "Well. yer
honor, the interest on Kitty Keefe's
farm is selling off, and l want to rise
eight hundred pounds to buy it. mon
sense, Tim; the interest in her farm
isn't worth any thing like that. But
suppose | was fool enough to lend you
this money, how would you ever pay it
back?" Is it pay it agin, yer honorP
Nothin' aiSier in life, Sure, the young
fellow would get in fortune when he
marries." ''And may l ask, Tim, what
age is the young fellow" Hes three
years ould yer honor" 1tneed hardly
be said that the manager did not see it;
and Tim, in spite of his wish ''to give
him the compliment" was refused the
loan of eight hundred pounds.-Spec-

RICH MEMS SONS.
The Kind of Work Which the World Ex-
poets Them to Perform and Perfect.

The Kind of Work Which the World Ex-
poets Them to Perform and Perfect.
Not only should the children of
wealthy parents receive the most liberal
education that the country affords, but
they should be expected to make a good
use of it in after life. As professional
men, with complete immunity from the
cares incident to poverty, they should
deepen and widen the tracks that others
are prone to follow, and institute sys-
tematic reforms. AS men of state, far
removed from partisan strife, they
should draw their principles direct from
history and from science, and lay the
foundations of an ideal government. AS
men of letters they could be content with
nothing less than the best, whether in the
manner or matter of their work. As
men of science. not obliged to make
their Investigations yield them pecun-
larry return, they, of all others, should
devote themselves to the pursuit of truth
for its own sake, which, paradoxical rs
it may sound, has always proved the
most important and really practical of
all human labor.
Now, what the modern age demands
of those who possess wealth is that they
employ it in the proper direction of
their activities. No right-minded arti-
san begrudges the millionaire his mill
ions. The manufacturer, the merchant
and even the railroad king are stirring,
industrious men. They organize the
production. exchange and distribution
of wealth, and are essential to society.
So of other industrial operations. Con-
centrated capital is indispensable to
their prosecution on an adequate scale.
And those on whom devolves the duty
of conducting these industries, and
who accept and perform this duty as
responsible citizens, are not envied nor
denounced by sober-minded people,
however widely their lots may differ.
But honest and industrious people,
those who with hand or brain labor for
society, create its wealth, and effect its
proper disttibution-all, in fact, who
really work-have right to complain
that so much of the wealth of their
creation has fallen into the hands of
idle persons who despise every form o.
labor, even the ennobling pursuit OF
science, art and authorship. They do
not ask them to take up the black
smiths sledge, the carpenters hammer
or the mason's trowel. They even pre-
fer that they devote themselves to
higher and really more useful labors-
labors which their leisure, means and
independence peculiarly fit them to
perform thoroughly and well.-Prof

MIGRATION OF BIRDS.
Reasons which Prompt Them to Seek n
Warmer Climate in Autumn.

warmer Climate in Autumn.
BY what strange and mysterious psy-
Geological mechanism does the swift
learn that the period for migration has
actually arrived9 Simply, believe, by
natural see-saw, dependent only on the
alienation of the seasons. For when
the swift is not in Great Britain he is
off at his other alternative residence in
the Cape Colony. As some people keep
up house in England and a winter
villa at Cannes or Mentone, so the
swift has always a summer nest in
Europe and winter nest in temperate
South Africa. Or rather, they are each
in their own time summer nests alike;
Tor, OF course, whenever it is winter
here 1T is sunny midsummer in the
southern hemisphere. Unwise admirers
of the swift have ventured boldly to
assert that he knows when cold weather
is coming, and therefore goes away
from England in autumn before it ar
rives. When men speak so to you be-
lieve them not. This is nonsense with
all due Difference to its propounders),
the swift knows not when it will be
cold, but when it has been cold
"a much easier matter - like all
the rest of us. The reason why he
leaves so much earlier than our other
suImer migrants is simply because
food fails him. There is nothing mi
raculous i'll knowing when you are hun
cry; the merest inftnt well knows that
much. The cold upper air begins to
feel the chilling effect of autumn long
before the baslling lowland meadows,
and when the supply of flies falls short
in the high circles where swifts habit
ually move, the swifts are prompted by
an inner monitor (other than con-
science) to fit southwark SO they
make tracks for Africa in formed
body, devouring the remaining insects
as they go, and, in the words of the
poet, otherwise applied, swallow,
swallow, flying south" At the same
time [ do not deny that the swift is Il
bird of delicate constitution. and that a
marked aversion to cold for its own
sake is one of his most obvious personal
characteristics. A member of an es-
sentially tropical family, he visits the
northern and southern temperate re-
gions only during the very height of
their summer season, and probably
loiters long on the way, breaking the
journey in Morocco and the Soudan,
like those wise invalids who leave
Egypt or Algeria in February, and only
reach the Admiralty pier at Dover
when the English spring has fairly
reached the dangerous summit of May
hill. Then in autumn he is off again
about the middle of August, and if by
any chance few stragglers linger on
too late in September they are not I'M

The New Style of Jersey.

A new style of jersey has a round
yoke, extending to the shoulders, to
which the back is attached in three box
plaits, which extend to the bottom of
the short basque and are laid in so that
they touch at the waist making a jaunty
position below the belt. In front, there
are two boX-plaits on each side. The
jersey is dark blue; the yoke is red, and
is trimmed with coarse black soutache,
the rows placed quite closely together
at the top of the standing collar, and
spreading apart toward the bottom OF
the yoke showing the red between.
The sleeves are trimmed with red Jersey
cloth and black braid, to match. Dem

To Keep Away Creditors.

Creditors are species of parasite, in
Testing the human race, usually, brought
on by luxurious living. Persons who
are troubled with them may free them
selves by the bankruptcy treatment; but
this always leaves an unpleasant irri-
tation behind, and spots that are never
effaced. Take water instead of beer;
toss the cigar-case into the fireplace;
eat mutton instead of venison, and NUT
ton broth instead of turtle soup; if needs
be clean your own boots and shoes, and
brush your own clothes. Employ time
proftably. Never borrow, seldom lend
Avoid betting and gaming. Keep reg
ular accounts, and examine your posi-
ton from day to day, determining to
eat nothing that is unpaid for, nor to
allow your tailor or dressmaker to say
that the garments you wear are not
your own. By this process you will
soon get rid of the annoyance and
your mental and bodily health will won
derfully improve. Leader.

HOURS OF LABOR.
Those Established in Various Portions of
the German Empire.


In the recent report by Mr.. G.
Strachey, British Charge d'Af1aires at
Dresden, some interesting data are
given on the subject of the hours of
Labor in various parts of Germany.
The statistics relating to the hours Of
labor, which have lately been collected,
show that the greatest diversities pre-
vail even within the limits of the same
place and class of occupation. The
average length of German working
day Intervals of rest deducted) is
eleven, or. at most twelve hours. But
u day OF ten hours or less is very COM
mon. The industrial employments con-
nected with stone, earth and the neces-
saries and luxuries of life entail eXcep-
tionally severe and prolonged labor.
The same may be said of certain textile
branches, especially spinning, and of
iron-founding, in which, however, long
periods of rest are usual. Persons in
charge of machinery and boilers are
liable to unbrokcn attendance of from
twelve to thirteen hours, although they
have 4 high degree of responsibility.
The length of the working day is sub-
iect to great variations from place to
place. 1t is maximum in East and
West Prussia; in Pomerania it averages
eleven hours; in Posen, ten to eleven;
in Hanover and Schleswig- Holstein,
eleven; in Dresden and Blutzen. eleven;
Zwickau and Nielsen, eleven TO twelve;
Leipsc, ten to twelve; Hamburg, ten
to eleven; Bremen, ten. In the Silesian
district of Oppein there is II twelve
hour day in blast furnaces, lead, silver
and coke works, flour mills, dyeing
works and printing offices. In the
mining industry the rule is continuous
day and night work in tweive-hour re-
lays, two hours of rest included. For
part of Bavaria it is reported that in
the larger part of the industrial cons
Germs employing $4,000 hands, tho
daily time exceeds eleven hours, and in
200 concerns with about 5000 handsl
the period is more than twelve hours.
In 600 concerns employing $4,000
hands, it is less than eleven hours.
On the whole, if extra work is de-
Quoted, the labor in the manufacturing
industries is lighter thln that usual in
